Irish Voice Letters to the Editor
Posted by IrishVoiceEditor at 11/16/2009 10:38 AM EST
HAVING read Marilyn Horan’s excellent letter in last week’s Irish Voice pertaining to the ongoing battles of Willie Corduff and his stalwart colleagues against Royal Dutch Shell, a British corporation with a litany of human rights abuses in Nigeria and elsewhere, I must respond. The Irish people need to heed the ... Read More »

WHILE commenting on the Irish Voice’s 100 important contributors to education in the October 28-November 3 issue, I excluded (mea culpa) New York’s Andy McGowan, president of the W.B. Yeats Society, and professor Nicholas Fargnoli of Molloy College, co-editor of James Joyce A to Z, and president of the James ... Read More »

WHILE I support the family of Raymond McCord I take exception at comments by Father Sean McManus describing McCord as the “Protestant Pat Finucane.” Acknowledging that both were ultimately victims of a governmental policy of collusion, that is solely where the similarities begin and end. Unlike Raymond McCord, ... Read More »

I AM a member of Alcoholics Anonymous – the operative word being “anonymous.” I read the Irish Voice front page story on writer Colin Broderick in the October 28-November 3 issue, and he mentioned that he was both a member of the AA, and also that he secured a book agent through being a member. I suppose ... Read More »

I THINK the Nobel Committee made an inspired choice in selecting President Obama as the Nobel Peace Prize winner this year, and I was surprised to read the negative reaction of a former Irish winner, Mairead Maguire, which was featured in the issue dated October 14-20. The world is a much safer and secure place now that ... Read More »

I THINK Irish Voice columnist John Spain really needs to have his head examined.  Normally I agree with most of what he writes, but he was way, way off the mark with his column last week, “Drinking Up Time for Fianna Fail,” in which he stated his opposition to lowering the amount of alcohol drivers can ... Read More »

IN a remote corner of northwest Ireland, a court decision by Irish planning board An Bord Pleanala to approve or deny Shell’s application to lay a 5.7 mile onshore high-pressure pipeline -- the final phase of its Corrib Gas Project -- has been postponed once again. In 2002, when Royal Dutch Shell acquired its ... Read More »

RECENTLY I viewed the new movie by Michael Moore, Capitalism: A Love Story. Many will be incensed by Moore’s assault on this current modern form of capitalism that has run rampant in this country and across the world. Others will probably agree with the central thesis of the movie, which is that Congress has been ... Read More »

I HAVE a question for Michael Moore which the Irish Voice’s Cahir O’Doherty should have posed to the portly pouter – if capitalism is so bad, how come you’re so rich? Moore’s movies exposing the “greed” of American corporations, politicians, etc. have made tens of millions of ... Read More »

LETTER writer Regina Carey, in last week’s issue, thought my letter on Senator Edward Kennedy's deathbed conversion was "highly amusing." Well, I thought what was more highly amusing was Ms. Carey's statement where she said I had stated that the Pope gives out deathbed conversions. No, Ms. Carey, sorrow for one's sins ... Read More »
